DOMO and Tecnoplimeri develop cutting-edge household and electronics parts
Chores
The growing demand for innovative products and metal replacement has led to the transformation of special materials for these sectors and increasingly strict fire codes and flammability requirements. The versality of PA6 and PA66 has been fundamental in many new developments. DOMO’s DOMAMID and TECHNYL ranges have become best-in-class flame-retardant solutions in the household and electronics markets.
Tecnopolimeri Owner Matteo Pigliapoco said: “DOMO Engineered Materials is our reference in the polyamide market and the recently homologated DOMAMID FR 6G30V0E is a melamine-based flame-retardant solution that has been proven to be first choice for several of our household and electronic cases such as a keyboards, covers, displays and command boxes, developed for the IoT generation.”
DOMO’s solutions support complex formulations that combine flame retardancy, excellent flowability, and low migration to achieve the desired safety, strength, surface, and moulding requirements.
Ron Bult, Sales Director at DOMO Chemicals, added: “DOMAMID FR 6G30V0E is one of our big sellers in the electric and electronics segment, combining excellent mechanical and electrical properties, flame-retardancy, low specific weight and colourability. It is also the most environmentally friendly product among our flame-retardant portfolio.”
Under the DOMAMID brand, DOMO has also developed a grade specifically for connectors used in one of Miele’s washing machine, that is heat-ageing stabilised with 25 per cent glass fibre material and a UL Yellow card (E170540-532327).
